Message for the day 18-06-2011
----------------------------------------------------------
When there is love, tolerance becomes easy.
Projection: Love makes us free from expectations, which enables us to accept
people as they are. The more we go within ourselves we are able to discover our
own strengths. We will automatically be a giver in all situations and we can
tolerate very easily.
Solution: Let me think of one person in whom I am not able to tolerate some
quality. I then need to tell myself that just as a mother accepts her child even
with weaknesses, I will accept this person as he is. When I change my attitude
towards that person I can be tolerant.

Improving The Quality Of Different Areas Of My 'Karmas' (cont.)
Karmas as spiritual service of others
Service of others can be seen on a very basic level as physical charity but the
real service is to uplift the souls of others by inspiring them to re-claim
their state of self-respect. There is the old saying that if I give others
chapattis, I feed them for a day. If I teach them how to cook chapattis, I feed
them for life. In a spiritual way, this refers to the fact that instead of
merely performing a positive 'karma' like the donation of money, food, clothes,
etc. if one can show others the understanding of 'karma' and how it works and
also teach them the ultimate, pure karma of coming closer to the Supreme on a
spiritual level, they can make efforts to change their negative karmic situation
and bring happiness, peace and positivity back in their lives. When there is a
change at the mental and emotional level, then changes will begin to show at the
physical level too. Over a period of time, due to understanding spiritual
knowledge (as a result of which the soul starts performing positive actions) and
a deep connection with the Supreme (due to which negative actions or sins
performed in the past are burned up), the karmic situation of the soul, which
has been served, starts improving.
